Peter Bale - curated media, journalism, and related technology news
More was always going to come out. I suspect that what Allison did with Cuomo was actually relatively transparent -- talking points rather than direction -- but it looks terrible in retrospect and in the circumstances.
He has had an interesting ride but my impression has always been that he had to be dragged into the internet side of the business and stayed preoccupied with the newspaper until it became untenable. Some of his staffing decisions and transparency may not stand up to scrutiny.
Interesting idea that New Zealand could follow Australia with some sort of mandated support for news from the tech giants: I doubt it will happen and I suspect it will all be informal and negotiated, not legislation.
I seldom post or even read editorials but this is a good one which explains why the ruling against Bloomberg could be so damaging to journalism, especially the kind of work the FT did to expose Wirecard.
Scratch the surface and you find rotters.
A weekend bonus of the newsletter I do for a New Zealand publication: mostly about Ukraine.
